The Huffington Post has placed Sofia among the most pleasant cities in the world for living abroad. The Bulgarian capital city occupies the prestigious 11th place. The ranking of the media is based on the study of American consulting company Mercer, which tracks the cost of living in 201 cities worldwide and assesses the daily expenses for foreigners for a total of 200 goods and services. "Just because you don’t often hear about Bulgaria’s capital doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider living there. Air travel, street food and sightseeing are all affordable in this gem of a city," the article reads. Cities that placed higher than Sofia in the chart are Cape Town, Belfast, Hanoi, Santiago de Chile, Ottawa, Prague, Riga, Wellington, and Lisbon. The city of Lyon placed first.
